Netflix no longer hides its ambitions to impose itself, not only in the film industry, where it is already a giant, but also in other sectors such as video games and now sports. The platform announced the arrival of the Nike Training Club program, a guided routine accompanied by multiple specialized trainers.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the “series” of training routines isn’t new. The Nike Training Club program is part of the catalog of the official Nike application. So, now you can enjoy dozens of videos without having to subscribe to the sports brand’s platform. The first episodes will arrive on Netflix on December 30.
The platform announced the landing of the first episodes of Nike Training Club on its official blog. This, without a doubt, is good news for Netflix subscribers who are looking to get started in the sport, in addition to saving themselves a little money. The subscription to the Nike app costs 10 euros in most of the world, while Netflix can be seen “free” in its catalog.
The second batch of episodes will hit the platform in 2023, although the company has yet to confirm a specific date. The truth is that the episodes will be divided into several categories, the following is the list:
- Fitness Basics — 13 episodes
- 2 Weeks of Bodybuilding — 7 episodes
- Discover Vinyasa Yoga — 6 episodes
- HIT and Reinforcement with Tara — 14 episodes
- Wellness Fitness — 6 episodes
The videos each consist of a sports lesson led by a specialized teacher, who indicates the movements and exercises to perform. What is most striking is that these chapters are quite similar to the Apple Fitness+ program, Apple’s training application. However, we must be clear that, although Netflix wants to compete once morest those of Cupertino, the new episodes of Nike Training Club are not aimed at the same audience as Apple Fitness +.
The Apple app offers various tracking features, especially through the use of the Apple Watch. For its part, Netflix is content to just stream the videos on its platform. In conclusion, Netflix’s new proposal is aimed mainly at occasional athletes, those who still do not want to pay a gym fee.
